In conjunction with the NUS Faculty of Science 80th Anniversary and The International Year of Astronomy 2009, enjoy a one-night-only stargazing evening. Open the Jewel Box of the Southern Cross and journey along our Milky Way. Look Taurus in the eye and marvel at the beautiful Pleiades and Orion Nebulae. Survey lunar craters to see if there really is a Man on the moon. Learn about astronomy from our friendly experts and listen to starry legends from Greek, Indian and Chinese mythologies. Amid the serendipity of the activities, pen your own poem and stand to win attractive prizes!

There will be a pre-event talk by world-renowned physicist Professor Jocelyn Bell at 6pm at LT27.

This event is in Celebration of the 80th Anniversary of NUS's Faculty of Science and NUS Center for the Arts: Astronomy & Poetry.

Pls register early for our logistics consideration soon. Prizes will be awarded for Poetry entries from students.

More instructions are given below for school/JC/polytechnic group registrations.
